`java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.wfwf.everestnewsapp.SplashActivity` - you need to make sure that `com.wfwf.everestnewsapp.SplashActivity` is included in your install package — Andreas Fester, Aug 06 '13 at 09:57

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.wfwf.everestnewsapp.SplashActivity: This error basically shown when Compiler is unable to instantiate your SplashActivity.java

Make sure that you have defined your SplashActivity class in AndroidManifest.xml

Your android manifest needs to look something like this

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    ....

    ....
    <activity
            android:name="com.wfwf.everestnewsapp.SplashActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

Make sure the entry is in your manifest or you'll be given the classnotfound exception
